Prosopsis pubescens

 Prosopsis pubescens (screwbean mesquite) (mezquite tornillo) 

Fabaceae


  • Present in open or continuous stands is screwbean mesquite. known as tornillo in Spanish, which is also geographically widespread but much less common in California. It is easily recognized when fruits are present because of the shape of the pods with a tightly coiled pattern of growth. Screwbean mesquite is generally restricted in California to areas with permanent or semi-permanent groundwater, but generally is not able to root to depths more than about 10-15 feet.
